Some tips about pFsense.

(Tested against v2.0 2011-11-11)

Adding packages from the command line (menu choice #8) WARNING, this is unsupported and any packages you install this way will not show up in the pfSense menu under System->Packages.

pkg_add -r packagename

setenv PACKAGESITE ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8-stable/Latest/
pkg_add -r tinyproxy

Now we're in business. But wait, /etc/rc.conf doesn't exist. Create it

echo "tinyproxy_enable=YES" >> /etc/rc.conf

Now tinyproxy can be started

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/tinyproxy
